“Fantastic. Tracey is aweosome. Coco had alot of fun and played with other dogs. I felt he was missing the place when i picked him up. It is truly a dogs paradise when you are on vacation yourself”
“Joann was so great! It’s very clear she adores all the dogs. She has a great outdoor space and sent me lots of pictures and updates. Oscar was a very happy pup when I picked him up!! I would happily bring Oscar back to her.”
“Gary is the best! We left our Maltese girl for a month with Gary and he pampered her so much that I was concerned she wouldn’t want to come back home ? He took her to walks, cuddled her and really treated her like his baby. Also he sent me regular updates and pictures which we really appreciated! Thank you for being such an amazing petsitter! ?”
“Eunmee boarded Vino for two weeks and he was so happy and well taken care of. Lots of walks, naps and playtime. I couldn’t ask him to be cared for any better. Thanks Eunmee and family.”
“Absolutely amazing! We had our two pups watched while we went on vacation. They are so diligent and communicative. We received lots of videos and photos of our pups, which gave us so much piece of mind! Would highly recommend 💖”
“I recently boarded my dog with Paula for four days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, and welcoming. My puppy had an absolute blast and has definitely found a new best friend! What I appreciated most were her frequent updates—she sent photos, videos, and little notes each day, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and safe. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after, treating them as her own family. I highly recommend her boarding service to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We’ll definitely be returning in the future!”
“Sooooo happy with the caring and loving care Cynthia gave my 2 girl puppies !! They had a good time at her home (Cynthia is well prepared to take care of dogs for sure !!) Gave timely updates that make my husband and I smile :-)))) I booked last minute and Cynthia was very flexible and very kind !! Sent timely updates that made my husband and I smile :-)))) thank you so much Cynthia !!!”
“Majdeh and her family did such a great job at looking after our dog while we were on vacation. While she was very happy to see us when we came back, she wasn’t stressed or anxious at all, and looked like she had an amazing time! Will happily book with Majdeh next time we go out of town!”
“Merron took great care of Rocky, communicated regularly about how he was doing and sent adorable pictures! Her dog, Hailey, was a great playmate for Rocky and the fenced yard was ideal for them to romp around and play in.”
“My dog Denali loved her stay with Emily! Denali is not confident on hardwood floors so Emily and her family created "islands made of rugs" to help Denali navigate around the rooms during her stay. I highly recommend Emily as a trusted dog-sitter for your fur-baby!”
“Teddy had such an amazing time with Laura-Lynn! He had such an action-packed day with walks, and was so tired when he got home. Laura-Lynn provided great updates during the day, with lots of pictures! Teddy is definitely excited for his next stay here 😁”
“Cindy took excellent care of Beatrix. They went on amazing long outdoor adventures. Beatrix is a very active dog for her age and Cindy managed to tire her out by the end of the weekend together. Communication was also good. Thank you Cindy, we hope to book again soon”
“Thanks again, Felicity for taking care of our beautiful Maggie. We always know she’s in good hands and we don’t need to worry when we’re away, especially this last time when our flight had gotten cancelled and we were stuck trying to get another flight home a few days later you were more than accommodating and took a great stress off of us. I highly recommend you to anybody that wants loving care for their pets with attention and a loved home. we will certainly continue to use you and look forward to our next booking in about a month. Thank you for all your help”
“Carmen is a very good dog sitter. She kept in touch with us the whole time and sent pictures. She went above and beyond when we needed an extra day last minute. My husband and I were very happy with the service she provided.”
“I had an amazing experience with Tara and her family while they cared for my dog, Asher, for a week. They kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Tara and her family to look after Asher again!”
“Anastasia was wonderful!!! She took care of my dog when we were away on a trip , very responsible, always on time and she kip me posted on how my dog was doing, sending me pictures and text messages. Definitely recommend her!”

“This review is based on care for a senior cat who needs daily medication. Karen provided wonderful care for our cat. She came to do a "meet & greet" to find out all about his needs and what was required while we were away. Our cat took to her straight away and the friendship began. Nothing fazed Karen. She was able to deal with his picky eating. She gave his medication the same way we did it to keep everything normal and in routine for him. Karen sent daily photos and an update after each visit, plus some videos. Karen responds to messages very quickly and communicates well. Overall, our cat had amazing care while he were away. I would not hesitate to have Karen look after our cat again. I highly recommend her.”
“Tracey always does such a great job looking after our cat. Might not be as much work as a dog but she puts in just as much effort providing me with great updates and much needed love for our cat. Thanks Tracey!”
“Gina arrived promptly every day that we had booked her to take care of our cat. We appreciated the daily photos and the comments that Gina sent us while we were away. We will definitely book her again for our next time away!”
“As always, Gayle took wonderful care of my kids. And, on a long weekend to boot. The kids love spending time with their Auntie Gayle. I highly recommend Gayle. She will quickly become your kid’s favourite auntie.”
“Cassidy was wonderful, and we would absolutely recommend her. She stayed in our home with our two cats while we were away and took such good care of them. One of our cats has a chronic health condition and needs to follow a strict diet to avoid getting sick. Cassidy was very attentive and made sure his care instructions were followed carefully, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also brushed them, played with them, and sent us thoughtful updates with photos so we could see they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. On top of that, she took great care of our home and was clean, respectful, and responsible throughout her stay. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our kitties and our home, and we would happily book with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my focus on personalized, low-stress walks tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for seniors or energetic play for puppies plus real-time updates. I volunteered for several years at the humane society, walking dogs daily and working closely with cats to help them feel safe and socialized. In Cochrane, I’m an adoptions counsellor, matching families with their perfect pets. At home, I’ve cared for my own exotic birds for years and of course I have my own little dog, Hanna, (who was the very first client I took out for walks!). I’ve also ridden horses for many years and currently have a rehab horse I’m gently nursing back to health. I absolutely adore all pets especially senior animals and have lots of experience providing the extra patience, gentle care, and attention they need (Hanna is a senior but still thinks she’s a pup…), whether it’s helping with mobility, or just offering quiet companionship. This diverse background equips me with skills in puppy socialization, basic training, senior care, and even unique pets like birds or horses. I love building trust with every animal and their owner, no matter their age or needs! So, I can’t wait to meet yours :) As a university student, I’m reliably available in the evenings for visits or walks. On a given day, I can also fit in early morning walks if that works best for your pet’s schedule, I’m very flexible! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. In your home I follow your instructions exactly for feeding, routines, playtime, and any special needs. I double-check doors and gates, provide lots of attention and cuddles, and keep everything secure. I treat your home with respect—tidy on arrival, tidier when I leave! You’ll get regular photo updates so you can relax and have that peace of mind you deserve! With my shelter, adoption, and personal animal experience, I’m calm, reliable, and great at helping pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space. Happy to chat about your pet’s needs!
“Thank you for looking after our kitty while we were away. We especially appreciated your patience with her ear meds and your flexibility with timing. It made a big difference for us knowing she was well cared for.”
About: My pet care experience started 10 years ago - my dad took me to his best friends house and they told me their dog loved going on adventures but they weren’t able to get out much. From there I started pickup him up for walks and hikes, and eventually I ended up pet sitting a bunch of different times. My favourite memory was when he hopped the fence and ran next door and waited for me at the basement suite door because he knew I was cleaning it. We became inseparable! Eventually I got my own dog, became friends with a dog trainer and have spent so many hours working and learning as much as I can about dogs. My kiddo is a little older and now I’d love to offer services to others. I work remotely taking clients so I am available most days of the week t take care of your furry friends! We have lots of green space at nearby parks for decompressing and sniffing and live in a great neighbourhood for dog walks. I have a fully fenced yard, as well as a fenced dog run. Inside the house I do require dogs to be crate trained for overnights. I offer dogs clear communication and structure in my home, with a guarantee their needs will be met. One of my best friends is a dog trainer and I work heavily with my own dog to ensure needs like prey drive (play) and pack drive are met. As well as plenty of time to decompress.
About: As a family of six we ran a dog boarding care facility for over a decade. Fur babies have been our companions for most our lives. We enjoy outdoor exercise time with dogs. The company of a pet while relaxing at home is second to none. Life is only as good as the company you keep. We are a stay at home business owning family. With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.
“Kristen was really lovely and a great relief when we had a last minute roadtrip! Her calm nature helped to put our nervous dog at ease, and she sent cute pics during her visit.”
“Deborah was fantastic visiting and taking care of two cats in my home! From the meet & greet to the rover visits, communication was very easy and she was thorough in tidying and feeding the cats. I really enjoyed the daily photos and notes, she gave me great peace of mind to know my cats were well looked after. She played with them and combed them, will definitely book again with her 😊. Thank you!”
“Tammy was great one more time, taking care of my kitties. It’s the second time we book her visits and we already have a third booking coming up in the next few weeks. Thank you for your support :)”
“10 out of 10 for Felicity! Our old cat is usually nervous in new situations, but did great immediately with her. That's the best review I believe! She also sent me pics and kept us updated over the holidays. We highly recommend Felicity ♡”

About: I’m a huge cat person and genuinely love spending time with cats of all personalities, whether they’re playful and social or more shy and independent. I understand that cats need patience, calm energy, and consistency to feel comfortable, especially while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight cat sitting, feeding routines, litter care, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their home environment.
About: My kids are grown, I’m on my own but haven’t set new roots. This is my time to move around and I’d like to be of use. Willing to travel and often do between Cochrane, Kelowna and Grande Prairie too. I prefer to care for two or a few, im used to juggling a crew. I have been housesitting for friends and family a long time, I used to be a property maintenance manager, and now I am doing a course online. You can take the mom out of the nest, but you can’t take the nest out of the Mom. Caring for homes, pets, plants and people has always been part of who I am.
About: I have a huge passion for dogs and taking care of their needs! I grew up with a boxer and an old English bulldog. I raised them from puppies and gave them the best home possible! I have helped many of my friends with their dogs, I have stayed in house for people watching their pets and dogs while they were away.

“Jaeden was very easy to communicate with and visited my two cats, checked food and water, with no issues. She even went above my expectations and swept clean the entire litter box area! Thank you Jaeden”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home all my life. I’ve been to many many puppy classes and dog training sessions. I’ve changed many litter boxes, and gone to countless dog parks, and been on hundreds of walks with dozens of dog breeds. I’ve taken pet first aid taught by one of CALGARY’a premiere vets Dr Drew Van Nekirk. I’ve also worked with many exotic animals such as gibbons, MCCaws, parrots, snakes, reptiles, raccoons, and so many more, as I was a docent at the CALGARY Zoo, and Santa Barbara Zoo in California. You could call me an animal lover but that would be an understatement. I’m more of a worshipper .😊😊😊 I look forward to meeting and caring for countless more fur babies through this site, and in my lifetime! I am extremely compassionate. I work from home part-time with a flexible schedule that I set myself, so I love the opportunity to go out during the day to walk happy fur babies! I can pick up your dog(s) and take them for a short or long walk depending on preference; I will make sure there is water to drink, and spare leashes. I can take them to off leash areas if that is permissable, and I have great success with training dogs on recall, and fetch, and good leash walking manners, as well as the basic 'sit', 'stay', and 'lay down' commands. For your feline friends; I'm happy to spend some bonding time with them, cuddling, playing, and of course cleaning their litter, freshening their food and water, and doing a wellness check.

“Thank you JoAnn for taking care of the dogs. They were comfortably staying with her and Peanut. JoAnn had provided us updates during the day. Will definitely ask for JoAnn's help again in the future.”
“Chester has a fantastic time whenever he is at Joann and Francis's home. He absolutely loves Rosie, their little pup, and they have a blast together. He comes home tired and happy.”
“Winston is a 55lb bernedoodle who has been coming to visit Amber and her dog, Dante, 2+ times a month for daycare, as well as regular overnight stays for over a year now. He is on the anxious side and Amber is able to calm him and make him feel at home away from home. She is reliable, flexible, responsive, and sends multiple updates and pictures throughout his stays with her. He is well exercised and tired when I pick him up after a long day. Thank you, Amber!”
“Could not ask for a better place to bring my dogs and know that they are getting everything that they need and more. They love going there. Will continue to use all the time. Thank you again.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Brianna. She updated me with pictures and videos during Bobo's stay at her house. Bobo came home happy and all tired out from a fun day! Thank you Brianna!”
“Lori and her family are awesome! I am so happy with the service provided. My dog, Lexi, LOVES coming to see Lori, and her days are FULL of fun and games! Her dog, Chyna, is such a sweet, mild mannered pup who gets along great with Lexi. They have a HUGE backyard for them to play, which is great for high energy dogs such as mine. Lori took her for two long walks a day and sent me so many adorable pictures! Its a rare thing for me to pick up my dog from doggy day care and for her to actually be tired. This tells me that she really spends her day running and playing with Chyna and the kids to her hearts content! I'm always quite skeptical about leaving my dog with other people, but I have no worries with Lori, I can tell she loves and cares for the dogs she sits as if they were her own, and as a dog owner i cannot ask for anything better than that. I will certainly be using Lori's services again, and I cannot reccomend her enough. If I could give more than 5 stars, then i certainly would!”
About: What sets me apart is my patient, attentive approach and experience handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies needing training to senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care naturally integrates into my daily life—I have a flexible schedule and dedicated time each day to provide attentive walks, playtime, and companionship for pets. I ensure a safe, comfortable environment by closely following each pet’s regular routine, providing constant supervision, maintaining cleanliness, and offering affection, exercise, and personalized care.
About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us
About: I started taking care of pets 30 years ago with my first dog an all black long haired German Shepherd & my first cat a tabby stray we brought in & named Tiger. I work from home & go for walks every lunch hour & after work so I would love to take your pup with me! It would also be nice to have the company of a pet if you need daytime care. Available most weeks for overnight care. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a park close by which I like to walk to or along the river. Backyard is not fenced.
“Our new puppy loves Sushain’s house. He was so patient and kind with our new little guy. The puppy went for a walk and had lots of play time. The pictures Sushain sent us were priceless. We will definitely be going back!”
“Tommy was well taken care off and they made sure to know everything about him to be able to accommodate him best. They care lots for him and I appreciate that. I loved to see Tommy’s day care pictures and was updated on how he was doing during his stay. Thank you guys!”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, and owned my own first cat when I was in my 20's. 30 years later, we've had 5 cats and 1 dog and lots of rescues that were re-homed. Petsitting/House Sitting (In Your Home): 9 years ago, as a family we started petsitting internationally - we have petsit in 13 countries and cared for more than 120 family pets. I work online, remotely so I am at home virtually all day to care for your pets allowing them to keep their exact happy and stress-free routines while you are away. Boarding / Daycare (at my home): I'm home all day so your furbabies get lots of attention. I have a small backyard so lots of play and frequent potty breaks. Weather dependent they will get a walk down along the river or one of the dog parks. Local neighborhood walks are also provided. We are full-on animal lovers and they can choose where they want to hang. They are allowed on furniture, beds and can choose who to sleep with. Because I'm home all day, your pets can keep their normal routines for walks, feeding and medications. I am comfortable providing injections or pills. We do have 2 cats that allow us to live full-time with them. One of them is skittish and will most likely hide until she gets to know new fur-friends. The other one thinks everyone is his friend and especially loves dogs. We will initially keep the cats (mine) in a bedroom until they all feel comfortable with each other. If it's other cats coming into our home we will rotate the living space until they are all comfortable with each other. We've done this a lot....our cats are used to other animals coming and going. In-Home Visits/Dog Walking: When it comes to home visits and dog walks, I am flexible and available to meet your furbabies needs and schedules. My standard overnight house sitting rate includes time spent away from the home for up to 5–6 hours per day to accommodate other work and commitments. For pets that require more consistent supervision, I offer a Continuous Care option. This service limits time away from the home to a maximum of 2 hours per day and is priced at 2× my standard daily rate. For example, if my base rate is $50/day for the first pet and $20/day for a second pet, the Continuous Care rate would be $100/day and $40/day respectively. I work from home, so I am extremely flexible with schedules. I am available 7 days a week, and offer dog walking from 6am to 9pm daily. If your pets are boarding at our home, late-night potty breaks past 9pm are provided. I offer overnight petsitting in your home. Your pets get to remain comfortable in their own home environment and maintain their schedules they are used to. Pets who are able to stay in their own home are more stress-free and happy when they are in their familiar and trusted environments, we simply come in and replicate your schedule. In home visits for dog walking and cat visits include a basic home check to ensure your home's security. I will walk your dog(s) for specified durations, play with your dogs and cats, scoop litter, refresh water bowls and feed according to instructions. Lots of love, attention, belly rubs and play. (I may sometimes have my 18yo daughter assist - if I do, she will come for a meet and greet with you as well). We work hard to gain your pets trust. We've had many tell us their pets are shy or anti-social and within hours/days the pets are sitting with us watching TV to the pets looking for us days after we've left. We promise your furbabies will be loved and spoiled with attention.

About: My name is Julie, We have our golden boy Jasper, who is a goldendoodle and is two and a haft year, He is neutered and is such a friendly pup and loves to have friends for day care :) But he stays at home if I’m needed to drop in or walk your pups, dogs, cats… hey I use to walk my cat in NS haha I’m here for it all and always challenge my self to new and def opportunities as well as I rise to any challenge that comes my way. I’ve been working on my new skills with grooming our own dog every second visit from the groomers in town and would be able to do some free trimming while taking care of your pet if needed no problem with request as I’d need to bring my tools unless there staying for the day care and after have had met you furr friends a few times before hand for your pets to become more comfortable with me first :) I have also recently taken a dog behaviour and training course and doggy chef course and can train your pet during my visits or our walks.

I currently work shift at work and can book days off monthly if set ahead of time if requesting for regular booking and have the privilege to as well to manage my own schedule and switch my shifts around if availability is available to accommodate taking care of pets if your going out of town, as my career is quite def then the norm and we just have to follow some rules to do so, but the down side of this is I’m always working holidays, most weekends and the busy time of the year with March break and summer but can also request specific days off of the week a month at a time if clients are weekly or monthly. I always bring our boy to the river off leash and also the ranch trails and carry wild animal spray and have bear spray with me at all time to best protect our selfs but wouldn’t take your pets out unless authorized to do so! I’ve taken pet first aid course online and also bad behaviour course so I can always have fun with your pets with trying to teach them new tricks and helping with some bad habits if needed and also only if I’m told to that it’s okay as well of course. Our morning routine is we walk jasper around the block every morning and to explore the surrounding trails that our amazing neighborhood has to offer, we are a very high energy family and are always on a mission for the next best thing and are very positive people my husband and I :) With some directions of the owner I will make sure your furr baby is loved and not stress and use my techniques from my pet courses and make sure they are happy and can’t wait for our next play date and refresh there water, make sure to lock everything up to keep the stranger danger away so there safe for there owner to come home too. I also carry a pet corrector spray that’s just noise incase there were to have any dispute with any other dogs while walking your pup or if that’s staying with us for a day care as well to make sure that the pets play nicely with each other with our dog Jasper.

One of my dogs is a senior and sometimes it takes him a little while to warm up to someone, but he just loved Tammy! Will definitely be booking again. :) Thank you so much Tammy!!”

With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.
About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us

About: Ever since i was a kid i loved helping others. I started out babysitting and then it went to pet care! I have lived in Cochrane all my life. I dog walk for multiple families here in Cochrane and I even have a pup of my own. She’s a teacup yorkie weighing in at 4 lbs and she’s my favourite thing in the entire world. I promise to care for your animals as much as I do my own. I am a full time student at MRU for Education and I do work outside of school. My schedule has gaps and openings for quick drop ins or even daily walks. Weekends I work as well but only a few hours so it makes it easy to tend to your animals with the utmost care. I love going on walks with my pup at home. To switch things up we love to go to the dog park and hangout with other dogs so she can be active and able to make friends! My dog is very timid and scared around other dogs so i understand being protective and attentive.
About: Growing up I always had animals in my home and around me that I cared for . As a kid I lived on an acreage and cared for our animals big and small. From the cats and dogs as well as the horses . Now in adulthood I own a cat as well as two large breed dogs (Great Danes) who I love and care for everyday. I am currently very flexible and available to care for your animals. Ideally during daytime hours while my son is at daycare i can care for your pets (ie. between 9am-5pm). In my home our pets are treated like family and I will respect and care for them like my own. I am an extremely trustworthy and dependable person. I frequently care for family members pets / homes while they are out of town.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager, feeding, grooming, and playing with pets whose ages range from just a few years old, to grey-haired, senior citizens. I also have experience taking care of pets on special diets, and those who need medication. I have previously volunteered with the Cochrane Humane Society, and currently volunteer with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society animals from a variety of backgrounds, and with a variety of needs. I'm available to house sit, dog walk, and play with your pets in their home where they're most comfortable and at ease. I'm available Sunday through Saturday for drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I ask the owner about their pet's background, what their usual schedule is (especially in regards to eating, exercise, grooming, etc). if there are any foods they like/dislike, and if there are any medical needs I should be aware of. I make sure to get the phone number for the vet that their pet goes to, and discuss who to contact, and what to do in case of an emergency.

“My dog Denali loved her stay with Emily! Denali is not confident on hardwood floors so Emily and her family created "islands made of rugs" to help Denali navigate around the rooms during her stay. I highly recommend Emily as a trusted dog-sitter for your fur-baby!”
“Teddy had such an amazing time with Laura-Lynn! He had such an action-packed day with walks, and was so tired when he got home. Laura-Lynn provided great updates during the day, with lots of pictures! Teddy is definitely excited for his next stay here 😁”

“Thanks again, Felicity for taking care of our beautiful Maggie. We always know she’s in good hands and we don’t need to worry when we’re away, especially this last time when our flight had gotten cancelled and we were stuck trying to get another flight home a few days later you were more than accommodating and took a great stress off of us. I highly recommend you to anybody that wants loving care for their pets with attention and a loved home. we will certainly continue to use you and look forward to our next booking in about a month. Thank you for all your help”

About: I have been a dog owner all my life. I am a working parent with 1 child. We walk and play outdoors everyday, often times in the mountains. We would love another fury friend around from time to time! I currently work from home full time and have lots of free time to play and go for walks. I am available to board weekdays and weekends after 5PM. I have a large fenced yard and back on to the walking paths. I love cuddles but prefer to keep the dogs off the furniture.
“Our pup had an amazing time and Karlee was wonderful. She sent us plenty of photos and updates. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitter. Will definitely be having Karlee sit for us next time.”
““Highly recommend! Yulina and Morgan took exceptional care of our dog, going above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was so relaxed and content when we returned – it’s clear she was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!””

“Scott & Carly were very accessible and a pleasure to deal with. We coordinated a quick meet and greet and they even set up a drop off with my friend while I was out of town. I appreciated the attention to detail and photos. It seems like Duck was very cared for! Will definitely book with them again.”
“Camille was great! Easy to connect with and always fast communication. She took care of Luna like she was her own. I was able to travel with peace of mind and without any concerns while I was away. Will be booking her services in the future!!”

“Stacey & Caleb were very quick to respond when we were in a pinch. They were extremely accommodating and put Hudson as a priority-- they even sent photos of Hudson on walks & swimming. We look forward to taking Hudson back to such a welcoming home and knowing that he is in great care. He even came home tired, which was a bonus for our drive home. The personalized experience was greatly appreciated.”
“We love having Keanu stay with Lisa and her husband. Their home is very welcoming, and I could tell by the photos that she sends that my pup is really relaxed and enjoying his time there. She is really responsive and puts your mind at ease when you are away. I highly recommend.”
